When I first heard someone's concern about AI taking their job, I automatically shrugged it off as irrational. I did that because as a programmer, I have been aware of AI for a while as it has been used in game development for several decades.
I have used AI myself in making my minigames. AI was used for the behaviour of my non-playing characters so they can appear to behave more naturally and I found AI to not be advanced enough to pose any sort of threat.
With the great tech companies letting go of thousands of their workers, the increasing rate of Chinese-made AI-powered robots performing a variety of human work from the most basic to the more advanced and with their fully automated manufacturing aka "dark factories", the World Economic Forum (WEF) talking about how AI and robotics will lead the Fourth Industrial Revolution where robots will do all the work and humans will live on universal basic income (UBI) and Elon Musk has said that he envisions a future where AI will replace most jobs and universal high income is inevitable, the threat of AI to take over people's jobs does not seem as irrational anymore.
So, I am asking on behalf of tons of people, Will AI take my job? What do you think?
